I am a free American

Freedom isn't free, you have to want it badly.

Monday, September 21, 2009 by messiah1 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I do not choose to be a common person. It is my right to be uncommon. If I can seek opportunity, not security, I want to take the calculated risk to dream and build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for dole. I prefer the challenges of life to guaranteed security, the thrill of fulfillment to the state of calm utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence, or my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid. To think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations; to face the whole world boldly and say, "I am a free American."

 

Freedom requires a moral society.  We've lost them somewhere.


Freedom requires our leadership and representatives to be dedicated to preserving our Freedom and to serve the people with honor. - Not happening at all.


Freedom requires an informed society – people must have information to elect and manage their citizen representatives. - Would be interesting to see what percentage of the fiddy2ers voted for der Fuhrer based on the sole fact that he is black.  That's not a racist question.  It's a question meant to find out how many people actually voted, possibly for the first time ever, just to get a black president in office.


Freedom requires a Free Press to sound the alarm when our Freedom is threatened. - The press is the mouth of Government...it is not free.

 

Wake up people.  Take action.  Take back this country of ours.  How many of you can honestly say you've read the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution?  If you haven't, you are ignorant.  Plain and simple.  Get a free copy today.  It's free.  No reason you shoulnd't get one.  It's FREE.  http://www.askheritage.org/Premium.aspx  This should be required reading in all high schools.  But it's not.  Why is that?

Here's where the nick comes in. In my first unit, there was a Sergeant who reminded me of my adoptive parents. Always spewing god this and god that. I have no problem with religion as a concept and do not mind that other's practice it. What I do mind is when it's shoved down my throat. I had many debates with said Sergeant and usually they ended with him frustrated and angry. Now one day, this Sergeant tells us that we all need to come up with call-signs for a mission. So I naturally pick something that is going to get on his nerves. When he asks me what mine is, I tell him messiah. Visibly upset (which was the point) he says "You're not the messiah!" And I said, "How do you know?" That was the end of the conversation. The nick stuck all through my career and has followed me here, with the addition of the 1 since messiah was already taken.

You are the Man!!!!

I don't have any respect for people who make fun of, or make assumptions about, someones nick. It is a chosen name, that is all.

JMHO, but that was something that was sorely missing in the Bush administration, and it shows an enormous amount of character on the part of Obama.

Because my nick is messiah1, alot of closed minded people just assume that I'm some sort of religeous freak

 Interesting story, especially when you consider that 33 years (truth is consistent psychology during this period begins Midlife crisis

If Obama started apologising for everything that was wrong with America, it would be a helluva long speech.

For what it's worth, the same applies to here (UK). We too need to take back our country from the committee forming, tree hugging, do-gooders.

It's our own fault really

Thats just naive, to think that the 'it's all our fault, but I'm a nice guy" routine is going to work on soulless murderers that want nothing more than to kill our children.

Its bad for this country and to anyone who appears weak and appeasing to them. Obama clearly does.

Did you hear what Qadaffi said about him?

Its just this kind of behaviour that is going to put us in harms way. Now they can't even make a solid decision on the fate of our troops.

Wishy washy knee bending...

Those soulless murderers don't give a rat's @ss about our children, John.  There are 2 kinds of soulless murderers, the kind that are killing for power and the kind under their power that are killing because they love either their culture or their deity so much that they need to make a huge demonstration about that which includes a lot of blood offerings.  If you really want to get into the head of those soulless murderers, look no further than the reflection in your own bathroom mirror, because YOU love your country, your culture and your deity just as much as they do, and you want them just as dead because of it.  And BOTH you and your enemies are shivering in your boots with fear that the other one will win first.

To a point it might be. But for the folks that "mind their own business" when they see something being done that is wrong? Shame on them.

Agreed.

And unfortunately Messiah...this post like many others calling for people to do something...anything to take back the country will fall by the wayside. The truth is...people just don't care anymore. It's to inconvenient for them. And if anyone has the guts to do something...anything drastic...they are now labeled a terrorist...ain't that a hoot!

 

Amen.. bother... I agree.

Right on Vstyler! I agree with you Messiah1! It took a lot of guts to write what you did and I for one, appreciate it! Thank you Messiah1. There is way too much government in our lives! Government is supposed to represent the people, but instead there is a blatent lack of that! There is an adgenda that is working against freedom in America, there is too much government involvement in our lives. Let's get America back on track, whether you believe in God or not!

With Fuzzy on how long a speech Obama would have to give to apoligize for all the wrongs associated with Americas pursuit of "Liberty, Freedom and Justice" throughout the world usually at the expense of any moral clarity. How long?.............weeks. However, ......Tree Huggers....whats wrong with hugging a tree?.......and forming committees? ...... democracy in action itself! Do-gooders? Who are they?......teabaggers?

For what it's worth, the same applies to here (UK). We too need to take back our country from the committee forming, tree hugging, do-gooders.

Same applies here in Australia, regardless of which political party is in office.   I think Webgizmos summed it up pretty well when he commented on how politicians are too often tied to corporate powers... it leaves the door to greed and corruption wide open, and the purpose of government for the people is lost in the wheelings and dealings between politicians and the money grubbing power brokers.

There is way too much government in our lives! Government is supposed to represent the people, but instead there is a blatent lack of that! There is an adgenda that is working against freedom in America, there is too much government involvement in our lives.

It's not so much that there's way too much government involvement, but rather who is manipulating government to do their bidding... the money grubbing power brokers who sieze upon every opportunity to benefit themselves.  Government is essential to law and order, health care and other public services, but until government is detached 100% from big business, banking, property developers and arms manufacturers, those public services will always be tainted by those in high places seeking to further their own goals.

I agree, and only add that another problem is that the government has ceased to be a faithful tool of the people...it's owned by the Plutocrats.

Why would I do that, when the parents of the victims of the WTC can find all the pictures of dead Iraqi and Afghan children plastered all over the web, and not give a shit about the ones that aren't theirs, either?  Hate begets hate -- violence begets violence.  LOVE is the only thing that conquers hate and violence, but you have to get past fear before you can get to love, and nobody's ready for that yet.  To paraphrase a quote from G. Gordon Liddy when Chuck Colson asked him in prison if he could see the light, they're (and you are) "not even looking for the switch".

I understand the need to spill blood -- I know there's a primal thing inside all of us that lives by the sword, and some of us are pitbulls who don't even need a reason, the struggle to spill blood is worth whatever it costs.  It's just the way things are and it can't be helped, but when someone in power wants to at least FEIGN a little regret for all the blood that's spilled, I think that takes a lot of courage.  That's all I'm saying.

The bottom line is this. Unless people in this country are prepared or willing to take this country back by force (because that is what it's going to take and since asking or expecting the ones responsible for all this to change is just utterly hilarious)...and maybe have to deal with some inconveniences during the transition (like getting rid of the Federal Reserve and the exposing IRS for the thieves they are...and create our own money for starters)...and make those in power accountable and responsible for trashing the Constitution...the Country...the economy... and stripping them of their powers...nothing anyone says here really amounts to a hill of beans. It's just more hot air floating out into space.

"WE" can make a change in this country! Yes "WE" can! They won't! If "WE" all revolted tomorrow...what are they going to do...throw us all in jail? First they would have to make us all build more prisons (well maybe just one....for them!). Remember....there are a hell of a lot more of us then there are of them.

Long live the new Progressive Society of America where real freedom can be heard.

As long as you don't disagree with the leaders of the new Progressive Society........real freedom my ass.....remember the United States is a Republic NOT a Democracy as most people seem to believe. The Country is ruled by law.....NOT be the whims of the majority.
